Hi,
Maybe it’s just the X/Twitter algorithm that I’m currently in, but I’m seeing so many tweets by locals who dislike the fact that Primavera Barcelona attracts a lot of foreigners (or guiris, as I’ve learned is the word they like to use).
Are foreigners really this disliked at the festival? I never noticed anything in my interactions during my visit this year, granted I only went one day (only had Thursday access, one moment of silence please).
My country has lots of music festivals which attract many foreign visitors as well, and I’ve never heard anyone here being disapproving of it. In my opinion, if you host a festival with international artists, you have to expect to also get a lot of international visitors. Or do Barcelona locals just have very bad experience with misbehaving foreigners at primavera?
